I liked this episode. I thought Chigusa was a great character. I also liked her Hitmontop, I thought it was really cool. I wish we would have gotten to see her grandfather fight though. I was surprised that Brock didn't go love crazy after her. I also think it was a good idea for her grandfather to get Ash to push her, and challenge her belief that she was the next Shihan.

I <3 May.

I do not do competitive battling and I really do not have any desire to. I also do not go out of my way seeking for shinies because I never really understood why they were so great anyways. All I truely enjoy pokemon contests, breeding, and in-game battling.

I think grass pokemon are the greatest ever and I take great pride in the ones I have raised. I also think that Chikorita is the most adorable pokemon ever!

This episode was cool. It was great seeing Hitmontop for the 1st time and seeing its special attack Triple Kick. Hitmontop is definitely my fav. of the 2 kicking Pokemon. The battle between Bulbasaur and Hitmontop was great! The 2nd battle was great too!

It's Slowking!
I love how Team Rocket come in at the perfect time... in Ninja outfits? lol! This was an alright episode. It was nice of Ash to help that girl, and the last battle she had with that green haired kid was good! And no wonder Team Rocket are always hungry, they spend all that money on machinery that gets blown up by one Thunderbolt!!

Great episode. The whole premise surrounding the fighting type Pokémons and more Japanese orientated with those Dojo's. Out of all three dojo episodes in Johto, this one is my favorite one - just the whole team of dojo's was emphasized in a well-executed way.

Oh GOD, I can't beleive I forgot about this episode. The female trainer is named Chigusa, not Shigusa btw ^^;
In any case, Chigusa is by far my favourite filler character, despite the fact Liza Ortiz portrayed her with that god awful random-filler-girl voice.
Chigusa was just awesome. She had a great attitude towards training using those caporeia-like dancing techniques and I really liked how determined she was in pulling it off successfully...That and the fact she has one of the best character designs on the show

I did for quite sorry for her when her Grandfather was praising Ash and his Bulbasaur, she must have been crushed to find out her own grandfather favoured a random stranger with a grass type over her and Hitmontop.
But it all worked out in the end, and we got an awesome battle out of all the training she put in during the night.

I enjoyed when Satoshi rescued Genzou from the stampeding Kentauros, if only because it gave Fushigidane something to do. I chuckled when Genzou and his Goriky both injured their backs, but Genzou's lack of faith in Chigusa and Capoeira was disturbing. Nonetheless, I thought that Jirou's loss was rather anti-climactic.

It's also good to see Ash teaching Chigusa how to properly fight so she could win to defend the dojo.

While it totally fit Satoshi's character, I found it kind of ironic that he was used as a way of motivating Chigusa and Capoeira to become stronger, because it's not as if Satoshi could brag about being an expert battler at this point in the anime. He lost often in Jouto, so I didn't think he was qualified to instruct Chigusa.
